Need to laminate a document? Then come down to the Small Office Home Offie (SoHo) on the Lower Level! Our laminator can laminate papers up to 11" x 17". We also offer laminating pouches in two thicknesses: 3-mil ($1/page) and 5-mil ($2/page). Since the machine gets very hot during the lamination process, the laminator is operated by the Library's Help Desk staff.

For more information on the laminator or any other Library technology, call the Help Desk at 203-669-5238.

While I binge on an author or genre, I like to read a wide range of books. My primary categories are: mystery, political thrillers, fiction, nordic crime, dystopian stuff (because nordic crime is not bleak enough), chef memoirs, biographies/memoirs, and general nonfiction. It depends upon my mood and what happens to catch my eye.

I like fiction that has a lot of heart to it. I tend to read books that make you think and sweep you along in the emotions of the characters. I enjoy books by Asian and Indian writers that transport you to different places and ideas. I love historical fiction especially British. Memoirs and cookbooks are also high on my list.

Readers' Advisor

Most of the books I like have dark themes, but that's not all I read. I am a fan of all genres of literature; specifically, steampunk, fantasy, science fiction, a spot of poetry, and a I sometimes dabble in romance.

I love to read anything dealing with the French Resistance WII, family sagas (dysfunctional even better), detective-mystery, historical fiction, medical thrillers, and nonfiction. There is not much I don't like...except fantasy.

I will read any book that is well-written but I am especially passionate about other cultures, history, word etymology, and France (especially Paris). Therefore I read mainly (but not limited to) historical fiction and non-fiction.

I enjoy biographies both living and dead artists, writers, and business/political powerhouses. Especially all things Mitford! I'll read any fiction or history dealing with the first half of the twentieth century. And I can't resist home decor and design books.

I especially enjoy reading fiction that has character-driven plots, historical fiction, and nonfiction -- history and biographies. I have become a big champion of audiobooks and have the privilege of ordering and maintaining our audiobook collection. Many audiobooks enhance your reading experience! I would be delighted to assist you in selecting an audiobookbook, especially for your commute or travel.
